After googling around I found a workaround for this. By calling

./configure --disable-fbdev

MPlayer compiles. But I have no idea what else this switch does...

Disables framebuffer. As the name suggests ;)
And I agree that your problem is probably caused by SuSE. I don't have
such constant anywhere, so probably they've modified something.

After a lot of experiments, I think I start to understand at least one
part of the problem:

The stream comes live directly from a DVB-S card.  So there is really
_no_ way to change the speed at which data is ariving.
Now when mplayer plays a little bit faster than data is delivered,
eventually the cache will get empty.  Now mplayer notice that it can't
play as fast as it would like so it thinks the system is too slow and
start dropping frames.  But since the cache is empty, dropping frames
makes things even worse.

On the other hand, when playing slower than data is coming, mplayer exits
with an "End of file" mesage.  I don't understand this effect at all.

The bad news is that every channel seems to need different -speed settings.
Even on the same channel is seems that the needed setting changes over the
time.  So guessing the correct -speed setting via try-and-error is not an
option

multiple dvd drives

Hi

I want to use mutiple dvd drives with mencoder, have a simple script rip
to divx on one drive and when that's finished rip the disk in the second
drive.

How do i access 2 dvd drives?

I'm using fedora core 2 with mplayer 1.0pre5 with a mapping of /dev/dvd
to /dev/hdc
The OS actually maps these as /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom1, is it possible
to use 2 dvd drives without changing the symbolic link?????

cheers

Have a look a -cdrom-device and -dvd-device in the fine manpage.

Changing the playbackspeed at runtime is possible. As a first hack, it
might be possible to make the cache change the playbackspeed, you just
need to find somebody to implement it 

extracting subs

I downloaded a movie and DVD idx/sub files with english/french
subtitles. I want to extract the english subs to translate it, is it
possible with mencoder? I have checked the man but I cant find any clues
about it.

Strangely enough it's done with MPlayer, not MEncoder.
See -dump*sub, -dumpsub options, you can dump in a lot of formats (so
select the one that you like best translating ;)
Of course you need to select the correct subtitle with -sid, -slang and
(as you have separate files) -vobsub.

mtc sync or jack audio connection kit transport sync

Could it be possible to add MIDI MTC sync or jack audio connection kit
transport sync
to MPLAYER?
I´m an Ardour user and "abuser" and lately I have found MPlayer the best
player for videos. I can finally play all my videos in Linux. Hurray!!
I would really like though, to be able to sync Ardours audio to MPlayers
Video.
Ardour supports Syncronization via jack or MIDI MTC Sync via the Alsa
Sequencer.
Ardour can be used as both Slave or Master.
Therefore, if MPlayer could work as Master or Slave via MTC or JACK
Sync, 
we would end up with a nice video Studio Solution.
I think this is a must have feature, don´t you?
